Abstract
Precision agriculture involves the use of advanced technology to optimise crop yields in agricultural practices. A mixed-methods approach combining quantitative data from yield surveys and qualitative insights from farmer interviews. Precision agriculture adoption led to an average increase in maize yields by 20% compared to traditional farming methods, with significant variance across different regions. Extension services play a crucial role in facilitating the adoption of precision agriculture techniques and enhancing crop yield stability. Investment in training programmes for extension agents and continuous monitoring of farmers' needs are recommended to sustain improvements.
